We will dispatch written confirmation to the person who signs the form to inform them that themselves and all named persons are now booked for the dates requested. Deposits are accepted as part payment towards the total cost.

A non-refundable deposit of £100.00 per person must be accompanied with the booking form for all named clients. The person who signs the form is confirming that he/she has the authority of all others named and they have read and understood the terms and conditions.

The balance of the holiday is due 8 weeks before the departure date. A reminder will be sent out to the main party leader for the balance. If you book within 8 weeks of departure, full payment is required at the time of booking. If payment is not received by Cretelakes by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel and forfeit any deposits made. A cancellation fee may also be charged.
